tags 629890 wontfix thanks Hi,
I know APT-HOWTO looks nice and easier to understand. But, the wishlist bug reporter did not read carefully enough to understand why APT-HOWTO was obsoleted. This should not be done unless its contents are updated. Anyway, the original author (Gustavo Noronha Silva k...@debian.org) asked it to be removed from the Debian archive since it did not reflect modern situation in his word. So there is no point reintroducing it without careful updates of its contents by someone capable. (I remember it was archived somewhere in debian-doc.) Anyway, apt-doc is the official one. If anyone wish to update any part of it, it will be more productive to submit patches than just throwing obsoleted document. There is some introductory section in my Debian Reference (DR) as a secondary tutorial. Which is separate package and Debian web pages. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html I think kov mentioned that DR and Debian FAQ being current user oriented document, he has no intention to update obsoleted apt-howto. I thought about closing bug but decided to keep it as wontfix so other similar requests can be dealt easily :-) Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
